Watching it while it was still airing in China, so perhaps I did not get the best quality of the video. I remember fondly this drama captivates me to continue watching. It has such a great ratings in China and very fast the hype spread to other countries. People talking so much about this drama.

For me, was watching for the sake of very popular well known actors / actresses. Next the beautiful setup, the beautiful costumes, the beautiful OST make this watchable.

As for the plot, understand follow a book, not really my type of plot but ok to watch. Not extremely exciting either. Sometimes I do not really understand the story, quite profound. Can’t understand especially for part for Ye hua & bai Qian story.

Overall, I do not really get what captivates me in the drama to continue but I did finished the drama & even firsthand.

This drama is watchable in my view but not overly fantastic.....

Finally finished this drama, have really bittersweet feelings for this drama. It started really interesting but then in the middle, I did get boring like others said, and really both actor & actress acted really well, but sometimes I just hated how they react or acted according to the script / plot. I just hoped that they have made better decision somewhere.

Sometimes Li hua is just too forgiving & Wen shu keep on hurting her.... this drama has really good supporting actors & actresses. You know sometimes it’s really fun to watch the other supporting side stories. This drama also have really big boom here and there that can be unbelievable, you can take it if you love dramatic. Watched this for Ruby, not really regret, but better if the drama is only 25 episodes, lesser episodes. Not bad as ancient period drama but not Ruby best drama I watched so far.

I loved it, Ruby fan.

It was one of the Chinese ancient drama that exceeded my expectations, no regrets spending time to watch.

It was very exciting & addicting.

The on screen couple acting never been better. Costumes nice & trendy to see. Plot is what I want. Hope to rewatch this again.

I do recommend this drama to everyone, don’t think it will get boring anytime.

I really like it that she switch sides to her husband in the end, I really like the idea & suspense in this drama, as if you do not know the next steps in this drama, how carefully planned.
